BERKELEY -
California men's basketball coach Mike Montgomery will be a guest on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area's Chronicle Live program on Tuesday, October 13. Montgomery will sit down with host Greg Papa to discuss the 2009-10 season. The show airs from 5-6 p.m. and will be rebroadcast from 11 p.m.-midnight.

In one season at the helm, Montgomery helped the Golden Bears earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006 and a Top-25 ranking (No. 22) for the first time since 2003. He took a team that was projected to finish eighth in the Pac-10 preseason poll last year and led them to a tie for third place. Montgomery's career record is 569-255 (.691), a mark that places him 10th in victories among active coaches at the Division I level.

Your first chance to catch the Bears in action will on Thursday, Nov. 5, when the Bears welcome Chico State for an exhibition game at 7:30 p.m. at Haas Pavilion. The season opener is slated for Monday, Nov. 9, vs. Murray State at 8 p.m. at Haas. For tickets, please click here.
